Harvard Corporation Ignores Faculty Opinion and Blocks 13 Students From Graduating Over Participation in Anti-Israel Encampment
“Because of your probation, you are not a student in good standing under the express provisions of the Harvard College Student Handbook, and as a result, the Corporation did not vote to confer your degree”
Imagine explaining to your parents that after four years at Harvard, you’re not getting a diploma because you chose to pursue insane, radical politics instead.
The Daily Wire reports:
Harvard Corporation Breaks With Faculty, Votes To Block 13 Anti-Israel Encampment Protesters From Graduating
The Harvard Corporation broke with the university’s faculty on Wednesday, and voted to deny thirteen seniors from graduating on Thursday because they broke university rules by participating in the 20-day long anti-Israel encampment.
Despite the faculty group overwhelmingly voting to confer the degrees to the anti-Israel students, the Corporation cited the student handbook rules requiring good standing for graduation in their decision.
“Today, we have voted to confer 1,539 degrees to Harvard College students in good standing,” the Corporation wrote in a statement on Wednesday, according to the Harvard Crimson. “Because the students included as the result of Monday’s amendment are not in good standing, we cannot responsibly vote to award them degrees at this time.”
The Corporation is the university’s highest governing body and consists of 13 members, including Harvard’s interim president, Alan Garber. The annual Faculty of Arts and Sciences is a sparsely attended meeting where faculty vote to approve the list of degrees for conferral, according to the Crimson.
Student Shraddha Joshi posted an email on her Instagram that informed her that she would not be graduating this spring.
“Because of your probation, you are not a student in good standing under the express provisions of the Harvard College Student Handbook, and as a result, the Corporation did not vote to confer your degree,” it states.

Sanity at Harvard. Who would have thought it possible?
I hope Harvard hangs tough, but I think it will cave in and will award the diplomas.
But I think it will cave in and will award the diplomas, I fear you are right, but I pray you are wrong.
Allow list be circulated to all potential employers requesting
First sane thing Harvard has done during this whole period of tolerating, coddling and support hate and bigotry on their campus.
FAFO
They’ll get their diplomas next month. Kabuki.
It is likely their diplomas are already in the mail.
Doxx ‘em. This is war.
Those who campaign for Hamas, for globalization of intifada terrorism, the destruction of Israel, and the destruction of capitalism, they intend to kill us normal people. Their names should be made public.
reality check:
they will graduate and get their degrees
Undoubtedly – but consider that this sanction is likely the first negative action resulting from their misconduct. Yes, they were put on probation but I would bet that not one of them believed the school would actually hold up their graduation. If even one of them is jolted back to reality, that’s a start.
NOTE: I am not saying, in any way, that this is “sufficient punishment”. It isn’t. In fact, it isn’t punishment at all. For normal, thinking people, it would be an expected result. But, these people seem pretty clueless about how life works.
even if they were “shocked” it wouldnt matter
what matters is they are winning
until pro americans show otherwise
Only 13, that’s all they could find behaving “badly”, though this only considers graduating seniors.
